The kids were hungry, and it just so happened there were four yogurts left in the fridge. Peach was about all I could stomach, so I doled out the other three without checking the flavors. Sam ended up with mixed berry, Olivia got peach like me, and Jackson got mango. He looked at the front and immediately the complaining began:
Jack: "I don't like this kind. That's not fair. I like the other kinds, but not FLAMINGO!"
Me: chuckling, "Flamingo is a bird, Jack, and they don't put birds in yogurt. That's all there is so stop complaining and eat your snack."
Sam: "What kind is it then, Mom?"
Me: knowing that saying mango would be a death trap at this point, "It's tropical."
Sam: "Mmmm, I like trockipal!"
Jackson immediately corrected his pronunciation, and Sam agreeable said
"Well, sometimes I say stuff wrong because I'm a kid, right mom?"
So right, Sammy, and I'm going to miss it someday! Love you, buddy!

The "fast-poke"
The other day as I was buttoning Sam's pants after he used the potty, I felt some moisture on them. "Sam, why are your pants wet?"
His reply, "Oh, yeah, well my peepee was a fast-poke."
As opposed to a slowpoke, you know. Too fast to make it to the potty! Silly goose!

Four 5 and under
I'm officially pregnant again, so I'll have to change this blog to "Four, five and under" unless it's twins in which case there will probably be no blog (seeing as how I will be fleeing the country ALONE!)
Nauseous, tired, grouchy, and irritable...how do I always forget between pregnancies what it's like? First dr's appt is on July 13, so here's hoping for ONE healthy baby!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Since it's been so long since my last post, here's what's up RIGHT NOW (seeing as how it's too overwhelming to cover the last 3 months!):
The boys are taking swim lessons at the pool. They have had 6 lessons, two to go. They are swimming with a noodle for support, and able to stay underwater for a few moments at a time. I'm hoping they'll be diving for stuff (in the 3 ft end) by the end of the week, but we'll see!
I sing for them each night as i tuck them in. They each choose a song, but 9 times out of ten, Sam will choose "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and the other day he sang the whole song for me out of the blue. I teared up immediately and MUST remember to get it on tape!
The favorite movies of the moment are "The Golden Blaze" and "Bolt" and we have seen both a jillion times already this summer! The pool, the garden, the scooters, and the power wheels truck have been the main diversions, and I am going to have to come up with some new material here soon!
Olivia is more of a handful than ever. She is fully speaking in sentences, very intelligible, and also VERY bossy! She knows most of the alphabet letters and their sounds (thank you LeapFrog DVD's!) and is Crazy about babies! She'll be two in a week (WHAT!?!) and I'm in the middle of planning her party- a pink, chocolate, and polka dot theme- which will take place this Sunday.
Some of her current catch phrases - "Dat's it!! I 'pank a heinie!" "Hop up, Mommy, come here, mommy, RIGHT NOW!" "I wuv YOU, mom"
Oh, there are too many to remember them all. I'll have to do a better job of posting now that I've let go of catching up and decided to start over!

Place to update for the last 2.5 months!
Here is where I plan to update and post pics of the last 2.5 months. Eventually. Maybe. When you're all five and in school...
At least now I can hopefully start posting again without thinking about how I can't post until I'm ready to fix the backlog, and I'm just too tired for that...blah blah blah, excuses, excuses. Back to our regular programming!

Umm, hello, April, where did you go?
Wow, I knew I was a slacker but letting a whole month get away- not cool! So here it is May and I have lots to go back and document. Easter, playdates and birthday parties, school events including Mother's Day teas at school, my garden planting, etc. etc. etc. Hopefully the coming week will be a little slower and I'll actually get my pics uploaded onto the computer. Maybe not. We'll see! I've had 6 kids who aren't my own in and out this week (along with my three) and I am watching a neighbor's baby on Monday too. We'll see how it plays out! BUT, to my kids, I loved you as much in April as in March and in May and I'll try to tell you all about it soon! (as soon as you leave me alone for more than 30 seconds!)
